Hi!
We now have several journaling file systems, like XFS, ReiserFS and
ext3 (and more I believe, but I would like to concentrate on these
three).
I have played with ext3 a few weeks ago, which was oke (easy to install
and if I unplugged the machine, it was up and running (fine) in no time
just the way sysadmins like it. :-)
Now it seemes to me that ReiserFS has a larger developer base and aims
a bit higher than ext3. Is that true? If not, what is the difference
between ext3 and ReiserFS?
ReiserFS seemes to be a good choice for spool directories because it
can handle a _huge_ amount of files (and dirs) in a dir efficiently.
And there is XFS. What is the advantage or disadvantage of XFS compared
to ext3 and/or ReiserFS? It seemes to me that XFS is a bit less stable
than the others at this moment. Is that true? XFS exists for some time
now. Is that an advantage above ReiserFS because it had more time to
develop itself to what is is now, or is ReiserFS 'better' because it
doesn't have to carry its history and doesn't have to be backwards
compatible?
Please enlighten me. :-)
